Admitting to the Relationship
Those were the pictures of her making out with Elliot. There were three or four pictures of them kissing,
as well as another two pictures of Anastasia giggling while he kissed her neck. They looked so much
like a couple as she leaned into his embrace the entire time. On top of that, they looked like lovers who
were madly in love with each other.
Ahhh!
Anastasia almost broke down. How could such pictures of her and Elliot leak out?!
Upon remembering the missed calls from Felicia and her dad, she blushed in embarrassment. It would
be easy to explain to Felicia, but she wasn’t sure how she should explain it to her dad.
Goodness! She was so embarrassed that she wanted to curl up and die on the spot.
She wouldn’t be able to deny their relationship this time round, for even the heavens wouldn’t believe
her denial.
Anastasia then took a few deep breaths to calm herself down. Since it had already happened, she had
no choice but to accept the fact.
Just then, her phone rang again. Upon seeing that it was from her dad, she almost had a heart attack.
What is dad going to ask me? Yikes! She took a deep breath and answered the call, “Hi, Dad.”
On the other side of the phone, Francis smiled and asked, “Anastasia, why didn’t you tell me earlier
that both of you are already together? Seeing the news of you and Elliot almost gave me a heart
attack.”
“Dad, are you feeling alright?” Anastasia quickly comforted him.
“I’m fine, but are you and Elliot really in a relationship?” Francis blurted out.
As she thought about the pictures spreading online, she’d be messing with her father if she didn’t admit
their relationship.
“Yes, we are seeing each other,” Anastasia admitted shyly. She never expected that this would be her
first time admitting her relationship to her father.
“That’s great, I’m really happy for you. You have a good eye for men—after all, you chose someone as
outstanding as Elliot. Jared will also have someone to lean on.” Francis still felt like he was dreaming.
He didn’t expect his daughter, who was also a single mother, would be lucky enough to be with an
outstanding man like Elliot. It was the Tillman Family’s triumph!
“Alright, get along well with each other, and I wish the best for both of you. I’ll hang up now.” Francis
hung up the phone after finishing his sentence.
As Anastasia heaved a sigh of relief, a man’s voice could be heard from behind. “You admitted to our
relationship?”
A startled Anastasia quickly turned to look behind, only to see Elliot in a bathrobe with his chest
showing and his arms crossed as he leaned against the door frame behind him. A trace of bliss could
be seen in his deep, alluring eyes.
When she saw him, Anastasia immediately walked up to him and asked, “Can you please deal with it?”
She passed him her mobile phone.
Startled by this, he took the phone from her and read through the gossip column. Immediately after, he
laughed and commented, “These pictures were well taken.”
“How can you still laugh at a time like this? Everyone on the internet knows about us right now.”
Anastasia thought that she was the only one worried about disclosing their relationship, and she wasn’t
entirely wrong.
Elliot had been looking for opportunities to make their relationship public, and someone had actually
done it on his behalf this time.
Although the paparazzi intended to make money from releasing the news, he’d definitely make a larger
fortune than he originally expected this time round.
As he looked at the anxious Anastasia, Elliot pulled her into his arms. “Isn’t this good? Now, everyone
knows that you are my girlfriend,” he uttered.
“I’m… I’m not.” She pushed him away. How could he be so happy about this?
As he locked his gaze on her, he replied confidently, “You will eventually be.”
Anastasia was expecting him to do something to save their reputation, but it seemed like he had no
plans of doing so. Anastasia stood on the balcony with her hand on her chin while deep in thought,
feeling somber.
Upon seeing that, Elliot walked over and comforted her sincerely, “If you can’t accept the news, I can
just get rid of it for you.”
However, Anastasia couldn’t help but think that getting rid of it now would be useless since the news
had been released for hours. Most people would have already known about them.
